Tone2 Audiosoftware

Tone2 Audiosoftware has announced Gladiator3.

It will include a larger and resizable GUI, a patch browser, enhanced sound quality, a bigger sonic range, a more user-friendly interface and many new features.

Gladiator3 is downward compatible. Existing song-projects and patches can be loaded without any further steps necessary. They will benefit from the enhanced sound quality.

New features:

  • Created a new interface, which is nearly twice as large.
  • By clicking on 'EDITOR SIZE' you can select from four different interface sizes.
  • Added a comfortable, new patch browser.
  • New sound-quality mode 'high-end'.
  • 18 additional unison modes with a diverse selection of chords.
  • Added context sensitive tooltips with detailed descriptions for all controls.
  • The patches can be ranked by clicking on the stars in the patch browser.
  • The patch rankings are stored within the file "Ranking.rnk".
  • 6 additional LFO waveforms: "Stair 4 up", "Stair 8 up", "Stair 4 down", "Stair 8 down", "Stair 4 up/down", "Stair 8 up/down".
  • Added handbooks in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian to the new help menu.
  • New loop mode "Noise", which jumps to a random section.
  • New loop mode "\/50%", which ping-pong-loops 50% of the spectrum.
  • New loop mode "\/25%", which ping-pong-loops 25% of the spectrum.
  • 3 additional phase-modifiers "Zzzap", which sound like a laser.
  • 3 additional phase-modifiers "Boing", which sound like a reverse laser.
  • 2 additional phase-modifiers "Odd noise" and "Even noise", which noisify the spectrum.
  • 2 additional phase-modifiers "Odd 90" and "Even 90", which sound like a sub-oscillator.
  • Information tags about the patches are shown in the patch browser.
  • Extended halftone-range for the arpeggiator from -23 to +23.
  • Added cross-product-compatibility: Save->'Export...' exports the sound of osc1 as an Icarus compatible wavetable in WAV format.
  • Video tutorials can be shown from the help menu.
  • Updates and additional sounds can be accessed directly from the help menu.
  • 176 additional patches.

Enhancements in sound:

  • More linear frequency response for oscillators playing below 100Hz.
  • More precise timing for all sample-rates.
  • Replaced all micro-tuning algorithms with a better ones. The new ones are more subtle and sounds less 'detuned'.
  • The late-reverb-tail of 'Reverb small' sounds less detuned.
  • The late-reverb-tail of 'Reverb large' sounds less detuned.
  • The late-reverb-tail of 'Reverb ultra' sounds less detuned.
  • All effects do come with default settings now and are more usable.

Enhancements for the interface:

  • Re-rendered the old GUI with sharper texts.
  • The envelope's attack, decay, and release time is displayed in seconds.
  • Registration screen is now also available in German.
  • Renaming a preset is more straightforward.
  • The version number now can be also shown from within help menu.
  • The updated credits can be shown by clicking on help menu.
  • The parameter info display is able to show longer texts now.
  • Mousewheel support for knobs and list selectors.
  • Double-clicking a knob or slider resets it to the default value.
  • More detailed spectrum display.
  • Manuals on the Mac now can be opened from within the plugin.
  • Better init patch.
  • Enhanced graphics.
  • After loading patch names are derived from the fxp file name.
  • Program name and file name are synced after saving a patch.
  • Added messages boxes with info for some possible errors.
  • Step speed is set to 1/1 BPM after initializing a patch.
  • Many smaller enhancements.

Changes:

  • Loading and saving banks can now be accessed with a new menu called 'load' and 'save'.
  • Renamed some parameters to be more consistent with the industry standards.
  • The envelope's fade parameter now works as expected with long attack times.
  • Manuals in PDF format and Gladiatorskin.txt have been moved to Gladiator3_data.
  • On the Mac support files are now stored in /Library/Application Support/Tone2/Gladiator3_data/.
  • Updated some texts.
  • Enhanced hardware compatibility for MIDI program changes.

Fixes:

  • The timing in 44kHz and 48kHz could have been out-of-sync if large block-sizes were used.
  • Fixed some typos.
  • Fixed a couple of wrong pixels.
  • Fixed a possible bug with 'static' loop mode.
  • Compatibility fix for the 'm' key.
  • Fixed a possible crash when the splash-screen was opened during closing.
